Crystal Leww: “Nede Mette” lands somewhere between WSTRN and Kygo. I have tropical house fatigue, though, especially when it comes to dude vocalists with very little personality.

Juana Giaimo: “Nede Mette” is a tricky pop song. The kind of song that on your first shallow listen you think it sounds quite good: a danceable beat, a slightly catchy chorus and “hey!”s as backing vocals. Nothing could be wrong with that. But now that I have to write about it, I can only think that I can barely tolerate the vocals — the useless rapped second verse and the awful AutoTune in the bridge doesn’t help.

Will Adams: Doubling the vocals at the octave was a bad choice; it only emphasizes Blak’s limitations. “Nede Mette” offers a brief flash of promise in the middle eight, when AutoTune takes hold of a winding melody that suits the curvy production. The rest is chatter over a dull trop-house template.

Will Rivitz: I want to not like this, since it’s kind of just following pace-for-pace in Kygo’s footsteps and (from what I can tell via translations) the lyrics are a vaguely gross telling-off of a girl who gets around. But the synth tone is so clean, and the slight AutoTuning feels so right, and things just kind of fall into line instead of the standard careening all over the place that happens in too many house songs on the radio. Probably not something I’d listen to on my own volition, but I could bump to this on the dancefloor.

Adaora Ede: How this song impacted me might have been either affected by the fact that Blak is the most faceless singer-songwriter to exist AND/OR the fact that it took more than two minutes to find translated lyrics of it, but “Nede Mette” does not leave that much of an impression at initial listen. I feel like some of the contemporary pop that we hear should be classified as the modern day format of beautiful music because of songs like this. It’s affable and easy-going as any tropo-synth with an urban flare could be, yet similarly forgettable. Which is probably why someone would need to make this.

Brad Shoup: If I squint, it’s a tropical house song about nu-metal.
